Reviews SummaryOver the past two decades, our understanding of what a hybrid can be has changed. Hybrids have grown from standalone models like the Toyota Prius to more mainstream SUVs and sedans. Today, many of the most popular sedans on the road are offered with hybrid powertrains, including the 2021 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. It offers all the trappings of a comfortable, well-equipped midsize sedan with a fuel-efficient powertrain that also delivers solid performance. | |
Reviews SummaryAs if its 2022 redesign wasn’t dramatic enough, Hyundai has added hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains to the all-new Tucson. With an estimated 33 miles of all-electric driving range, the Tucson PHEV looks like a slam-dunk option for folks shopping in the compact crossover market. How it performs in cold weather, however, may be enough to send shoppers looking at other options. | |
